Re: Uploading and playing videos in SharePoint modern sites
Steve Schultz I believe so. We have been using Streams for over a year now, but haven't tested with anonymous users or external users. One small quirk is that a few users on Iphone/Ipad using SharePoint app will need to click on a button to open in new window (browser I guess) and then log in. So, we have been telling users to use browsers to view our Intranet site for more stream less experience, but users will need to go into browser settings and disable 'prevent cross site traffic' since videos are at different URL. hope this helps.24KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Office 365 Profile picture not displayed inside SharePoint People Web Part on Modern Site Page
Hari_Aryan not sure if it holds true over half year later, but the workaround was to send this link to users (the SharePoint browsing page): https://yoursite.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx then wait until the next day. Their photo would show up (most of the time)19KViews0likes1CommentRe: Global Admin Showing up with Access to All Users OneDrive for Business

I second Daniel, We don't want to send emails out to CIO, VPs, Directors, Owners, (anybody really), to click on the following link so your picture will show up in Modern People Webpart75KViews5likes0CommentsBackground image not showing up - part of new background/design features?
Hello there! We had a SharePoint online site where we added an image to the background (Site Settings > Change the Look > Pick theme > change image) and it is no longer showing up. I am guessing it might be part of the new design/ Web Part Section background. Anybody else having this issue? See attached image. Even though we select NONE, it shows up white (not transparent)3.8KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Stock Ticker webpart for modern site
any knowledge of this being a web part that does not require development or publishing of developed web part? We are trying to use out of the box only and I keep seeing a stock web part in examples of modern sites, so maybe it will be future web part? like weather web part?30KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Uploading and playing videos in SharePoint modern sites
Thanks Alan Marshall , after testing a few things, we are now using Stream, just had to tweak a few settings in Office 365 For anybody else who comes across this thread, save time and use Streams, seems like after doing homework this is the official / supported / best practice way of storing/ embedding videos in SharePoint Modern sites online is using Stream or Office 365 video34KViews0likes7CommentsUploading and playing videos in SharePoint modern sites
I searched a lot of threads an they were either ~2 years old or talked about using Stream/O365 Video. On our new Modern site, I uploaded three MP4 videos to a both a SharePoint Asset Library and Video library (activated video and rich media feature). I am trying to find the embed code so I can embed the video on our home page, but I don't seem to be able to find it. Is there a way to upload MP4 videos to Modern SharePoint site and then embed them into web page? I can only get link and when I add the link, it doesn't look nice vs. embedded videos Also, does anybody know if SharePoint online modern sites' 'support MP4 videos? I imagine hundreds of users may watch this video at a time. We don't want to use Stream as it prompts the users to log in thoughts?Solved34KViews0likes9CommentsRe: How to add the picture library in Communication site?
For those that have 3rd party migration tool such as ShareGate, you can migrate a picture library. I just did this and the icon is an image, so I'm guessing it found an picture library 'template'? This post is almost a year old, so maybe SharePoint has a picture library now, but I too did not see it as an option for Add App...36KViews0likes1CommentRe: Migrate Libraries using ShareGate's Copy Site Object misses DispForm.aspx for the library
Does Microsoft plan on creating an API for the modern lists and libraries so that ShareGate will be able to copy lists/libraries to modern lists/libraries? it is a pain point for our current migration. For Each list online, I am creating a new app, adding and setting columns (re-creating the list), the using migration tool to migrate content.9KViews0likes0CommentsSharePoint Online - file modified date updating when user views files in browser
I created a new library with excel files on Modern Communications Site. Files open in browser. If a user opens the file in browser and immediately closes, it shows LAST MODIFIED a few seconds ago by that user. User only viewed. Is this normal behavior? I didn't think it was possible until I reproduced it. I changed settings to open in client, to prevent this, but but thought I would see what others thought... could this be a bug? or is this normal?33KViews1like6CommentsRe: Office 365 Profile picture not displayed inside SharePoint People Web Part on Modern Site Page

Good news is I am finally able to see the Sync and Export to Excel buttons on my doc library webpart as well as view dropdown Crazy that it took 2 weeks to 'push out feature' A few users saw it 2 weeks ago and I and another user didn't see it until today2.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Version Numbers Showing For Folders
I agree with Chris, one time we patched SharePoint 2013 with CU and it showed all libraries and some folders with Last Modified 1 day ago... I use ShareGate and it keeps the metadata from the shared drive which sometimes has versions turned on. So, if John Doe created that folder back in 2016 and renamed it 7 times, that could lead to that folder being on Version 7 after migration with date earlier. Some migration tools also allow you to choose how many /which versions you want to keep AND the ability to change the metadata before migrating Which migration tool did you use? I only ask because the Microsoft one 'works', but we had some limitations and weird behavior when we tried it.5.9KViews0likes2CommentsRe: view only permission for communication sites
We had similar request and did the best I could using the following 1. Created a view that removed the checkbox of individual documents 2. Enabled Auditing > log the view of all items 3. Library settings > advanced settings > open files in browser I wasn't able to lock users down from downloading, but did the best I could to have them only 'view' them in browser. Hope this helps4.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Sync, Export to Excel, and view dropdown missing on document library webpart on page for some users
Not sure how long it takes to push out feature release, but this issue still exists. I tried re-installing OneDrive, but that didn't fix it, I don't think it would be dependant on Windows Version, etc.. for kicks and giggles, I reset IE cache, etc... but, it is 5 days later and still an issue. I am 0365 admin, and all users are on targeted release, so still scratching my head. Does anybody else NOT see the Sync and Export to excel on document library webpart on page?2.3KViews0likes2Comments
